Abstract
Using a novel ion-selective electrode, we have shown that there is ove r a 100% increase in venous serum levels of ionized Mg during intraven ous MgSO4 therapy of preeclamptic patients. By 6 hours of therapy, the range is 0.92-1.65 mmol/l (95% C.I.). There are strong correlations b etween levels of ionized and total Mg throughout therapy (r=0.92-0.95, p<0.01).
